This project collected monitoring data for the watershed 1 tributary in anticipation of the installation of a sand‐iron filing stormwater treatment system. This treatment system was not installed because cattle were removed from the area in 2013, and early 2014 sampling results indicated much lower phosphorus and fecal coliform levels.

Deer Lake Conservancy, Inc. is sponsoring a water quality study for the Watershed 1 Tributary to establish a baseline for measuring effectiveness of a sand/iron filing filter system to be installed in the future. Specific deliverables for this project include all results, raw data, GIS files, maps of sample sites, and reports developed.
